 Yes, but hardware isn't. He may not be able to sacrifice a machine to the
 Linux gods for a monitoring solution. He may not know Linux. He may not want
 to learn Linux. All sorts of costs here for this free solution.

The cost here, is a benefit to all. You may spend time learning, but 
you will save much more than money, later. This free solution, costs only
some patience, more than anything else.

 If you could pick any platform to run Tomcat on what would it be.

 I.e. stable, reliable, etc.


You need to qualify the decision with a situation. If I could pick
anything, I'd always pick Linux, but that's just me. 

If you said, I need something right now, and this is how much I'm
willing to spend, and this is how much traffic I need it to handle and
this is how much data it will transfer, etc. Depending on the intended
application, I might give you a different answer.

Jboss Tomcat integrated security question.

2002-08-21 Thread Austin Gonyou

Is there a list of security related changes made to Jboss and Tomcat
between 2.4.1-3.2.3 and the most recent stable releases? We're trying to
compile a list of security related reasons for upgrading. TIA

Re: Tomcat4 performance.

2002-04-24 Thread Austin Gonyou

We use this setup, and have gotten it to work quite well, but if you're
using XSLT, then the transformer you're using could be a large part of
the process cost. Also, we had to re-write a lot of code to actually
clean things up because we were doing things in improper ways.
Eventually we squeezed every bit of speed we could have and the
difference between say, SSI parsed data and JBoss/Tomcat using
transforms from a datasource, then handing that to mod_jk/apache is
actually within 1 or 2 second differences. In certain test cases, even
possibly less.

FYI.

 Hi All.
 
 I'm currently doing some performance testing in order to convince my
 superiors that we should move away from the expensive Weblogic app
 server to a free JBoss/(Tomcat or Jetty) implementation.  However, I've
 run into a bit of a snag as both Tomcat and
 Jetty appear to be about 50% slower than Weblogic under equivalent
 loads.  Our Web app caches most of it's data so DB access is not a
 concern ( see
 http://regi2.adm.ubc.ca:7107/courses/ubcjsp/pubs/courseschedule/main.jsp
 to see it in action) but it does
 output a considerable amount of dynamic data.  In my tests I have
 apache configured to ProxyPass all requests for dynamic data and to
 serve all images and static files.
 
 Does anybody have any tomcat performance tips/tricks I can try?  I've
 already turned all the logging as far down as I can
 
 When I run it through Optimizeit, 15% of the CPU time is spent in
 org.apache.catalina.connector.ResponseWriter.write().  Because we use a
 lot of includes (each page is comprised of 3-4 included JSP files)  7%
 of the time is also spent in
 org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.loadJSP().
 
 One thing I'm wondering about - The included JSP files are included
 through RequestDispatcher.include() (I cannot use the JSP:Include tag)
 and in order for the data to appear in the correct order, I had to add
 the tag  %@ page buffer=0
 autoFlush=true % to all of my JSP files.  I assume this doesn't help
 the performance of the system... is there anyway around this?  This is
 not required in Weblogic.
 
 I realize performance questions are very difficult to answer, but any
 info at all would be greatly appreciated.
 
 thanks.

 Where did you get your classes12.zip from?  We use the Type4 (i.e. doesn't
 need the Oracle client software) JDBC driver from Oracle's web site in both
 Tomcat and WebLogic and it works fine.  I'm not sure but it sounds to me
 like you have a Type2 driver rather than a Type4.
 
 I can email you the type4 classes12.zip we use if you like?

 What OS, if you are on a *nix machine use cron. An entry in a file in

 the logrotate.d directory should do. You could just make a new file in

 /var/log/mod_jk.log {
  missingok
  daily
 }
 
 Or add those lines to a file already in there. I would make a new one 
 though.

Ok. We hadn't tried that, but we did do a rm on the file and do a
graceful restart of apache, and the file size remained. (the file was 0
but the allocation was still around 4GB. ) We had to restart apache to
get it to release the inode so it would sync properly. 

 
 Good luck, hope that helps.

Thanks I'll make sure it's archived in the list if we find it works
fine.
